"Ise from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki'" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's series illustrating the "Hyakunin Isshu," a classical anthology of one hundred Japanese poems by one hundred poets. "Ubaga Etoki" translates to "the old nurse's picture explanation," which refers to the tradition of an experienced woman explaining the nuances of classical poetry to a younger audience.

The "Hyakunin Isshu" anthology, compiled by the poet Fujiwara no Teika in the 13th century, has been a significant cultural reference in Japan, inspiring various artistic representations over the centuries. Hokusai's interpretation is particularly notable for its vivid imagery and the way it captures the essence of each poem through visual art.

In the print "Ise," Hokusai depicts the poet Ise, who is considered one of the Thirty-Six Poetry Immortals, a group of renowned poets in the classical Japanese poetry tradition. The artwork typically features the poet in an evocative scene that reflects the content or mood of their poem from the "Hyakunin Isshu."

Hokusai's series is celebrated for its innovative approach to illustrating poetry, as the artist moved beyond simple portraits of the poets to create complex compositions that intertwine the poets' identities with the thematic elements of their poems. "Ise from the Series 'Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki'" exemplifies Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e genre and his ability to convey literary themes through visual storytelling.

As with many of Hokusai's works, this print showcases his skillful use of line, color, and perspective, which has had a lasting impact on both Japanese art and the broader art world. Hokusai's "Hyakunin Isshu Ubaga Etoki" series, including the "Ise" print, remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the interplay between literature and visual arts in Japan's Edo period.
